After waiting a little longer and still finding no sign of movement, they finally confirmed that those two had indeed run away.
They really did not know whether to laugh or cry. You two were such enormous turtles, so how could you be so cowardly?
They had only slashed them a few times. Given their size, those attacks had barely broken through their defenses, right? Yet they had run away just like that...
Still, it was not so strange when they thought about it. After all, if they were not so cowardly, how could Gild Tesoro have forced them to do his bidding for so long?
With the trouble resolved, Momousagi and the others breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Gran Tesoro. When the soldiers saw that their officers had driven away those two terrifying monsters, they erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
Momousagi was still very popular among the soldiers. After all, she was a gorgeous woman with her charm maxed out, ahem... As for Chaton, he was fairly popular too. He was an Admiral Candidate, after all, and strong people were respected wherever they went. Unfortunately, whenever he stood beside Momousagi, he became nothing more than part of the scenery.
As for that Half-Face Mask beside their officers, who was he?
Only now did everyone truly settle down, with nothing left to deal with. It was also at this point that they suddenly remembered: had they not fought Marco the Phoenix and the others at the very beginning...?
So why exactly had they fought them in the first place?!
Now that they had calmed down, that fight seemed utterly baffling!
If Momousagi had not exhausted so much of her stamina unleashing that sequence of Storm-Style Swordsmanship on Diamond Jozu earlier, Gild Tesoro certainly would not have escaped unscathed
